I guess you don't want people who just joined the wiki to be of any help, even though I have been playing the actual game for a while. Honestly, why can't us pros who are good at the game but new to the wiki get a chance to help?

Why not? What if we are a worthy candidate? I mean, the rules for Becoming An Admin Or A High Rank Dont Even Apply To Our Experience In The Actual Game. You don't say that you are worthy, you prove that you are worthy. Many players are experienced in the game, I agree, but it is completely different when it comes to article editing. You need to be skillful on writing, using the source codes, identifying vandalism / spam and getting rid of them, managing the forum activities and so on. Newcomers usually don't have the skills immediately and need to learn as they do more edits. Furthermore, imagine if the power of moderation falls into the wrong hands, it will certainly be a disaster. These are the reasons why we don't trust new editors for such a big job.

We have seen some promising members who are skillful enough and know what they are doing, they are trustworthy despite not fitting the membership requirement of 4 months. We are in consideration of reverting the membership limit to 3 months, but there is no way we are permitting newcomers for the Moderator posts.
